  • Frickler Unter Sich
    # 2006/49 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2006/49/frickler-unter-sich Frickler unter sich Von Jan Süselbeck Was ist eigentlich aus den guten, alten Helden an der Fusion-Gitarre geworden? Aktuelle Jazz-CDs üblicher Verdächtiger. von jan süselbeck Unter dem Einfluss von Jimi Hendrix’ »Electric Ladyland« (1968), Miles Davis’ »Bitches Brew« (1969) und den ersten Platten von John McLaugh­lins Mahavishnu Orchestra zu Beginn der Siebziger war der E-Gitarre im Jazz eine neue Bedeutung zugewachsen. Was jedoch folgte, ist oft genug beklagt worden: Alben wie Al Di Meolas »Land Of The Midnight Sun« (1976) präsentierten muckibudenartige Fingerakrobatik, deren Verblüffungseffekt schnellstens verpuffte und den Eindruck intellektueller Schlichtheit hinterließ. Uli Krug hat in seiner Prog-Rock-Artikelserie in der Jungle World allerdings daran erinnert, dass längst nicht alles Mumpitz war, was seit den späten Sechzigern im Grenzgebiet von Jazz, Klassik, Blues, Folk und Rock entstand, bevor Ende der siebziger Jahre der Punk aufkam und das progressive Genre im Mainstream versandete. Mittlerweile behaupten Bands wie The Mars Volta sogar, ihr aufgefrischter Prog-Rock sei der wahre Punk unserer Tage. Kündigt sich damit etwa auch eine Renaissance des virtuosen Jazzrock-Genres alter Schule an? John McLaughlin beispielsweise produziert nach wie vor fleißig Platten und geriert sich darauf als eine Art Gastgeber nachgewachsener Talente. Auf seiner letzten mit dem albernen Titel »Industrial Zen« (2005) gibt es ein Gastsolo des US-Gitarristen Eric Johnson. Sicher nicht von ungefähr: Ist Johnson doch einer der auch schon nicht mehr ganz so jungen Musiker, in deren Spiel die Anleihen bei Hendrix mit am deutlichsten herauszuhören sind. Johnson bezieht sich damit auf die »gute alte Zeit«, in der auch Mc­Laughlins innovativste Arbeiten entstanden sind.

    BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA DE ALICANTE BIOGRAFÍA Roy Haynes nació el 13 de marzo de 1925 en Boston, Massachusetts. A finales de los años cuarenta y principios de los cincuenta, Roy Haynes tuvo la clase de aprendizaje que constituiría el sueño de cualquier músico actual: sentarse en el puesto de baterista y acompañar al gran Charlie Parker. Ahora, cincuenta años después, y tras haber tocado con todos los grandes del jazz: Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, o Bud Powell, todavía coloca sus grabaciones en la cima de las listas de las revistas especializadas en jazz. Este veterano baterista, comenzó su andadura profesional en las bigbands de Frankie Newton y Louis Russell (1945-1947) y el siguiente paso fue tocar entre 1947 y 1949 con el maestro el saxo tenor, Lester Young. Entre 1949 y 1952, formo parte del quinteto de Charlie Parker y desde ese privilegiado taburete vio pasar a las grandes figuras del bebop y aprender de ellas. Acompañó a la cantante Sarah Vaughan, por los circuitos del jazz en los Estados Unidos entre 1953 y 1958 y cuando finalizó su trabajo grabo con Thelonious Monk, George Shearing y Lennie Tristano entre otros y ocasionalmente sustituía a Elvin Jones en el cuarteto de John Coltrane. Participó en la dirección de la Banda Sonora Original de la película "Bird" dirigida por Clint Eastwood en 1988 y todavía hoy en activo, Roy Haynes, es una autentica bomba dentro de un escenario como pudimos personalmente comprobar en uno de sus últimos conciertos celebrados en España y mas concretamente en Sevilla en el año 2000. En 1994, Roy Haynes recibió el premio Danish Jazzpar, que se concede en Dinamarca.

  • Al Di Meola - Speak a Volcano
    Al Di Meola - Speak A Volcano http://www.concertdvdreviews.com/Reviews/DiMeola_Electric.htm Al Di Meola - Speak A Volcano (Return to Electric Guitar) Performance Production When I first saw the advertisement for this DVD showing Al Di Meola playing the electric guitar, I just couldn't wait to get my hands on the thing. As much as I love Di Meola's acoustic guitar playing - he is certainly one of the world's best - it was the blazing electric jazz fusion of his early solo albums, as well as his work with Chick Corea's Return To Forever, that really made me a fan. Up until now, Di Meola's only live music videos have been solely acoustic based. His two Live At Montreux releases, 1986/1993, and 1994, with Jean-Luc Ponty and Stanley Clarke, both brilliantly showcased some amazing acoustic guitar performances, but what about his legendary electric guitar output? Speak A Volcano is certainly a fitting title for a live Al Di Meola performance, because his playing can be that explosive, but the subtitle, A Return To Electric Guitar, is a tad misleading. Speak A Volcano was recorded at Leverkusener Jazztage, Germany, in November 2006 and captures one of the world's greatest jazz fusion guitarists sounding stronger than ever 30 years after the release of his debut solo album Land Of The Midnight Sun in 1976. The guy looks like he hasn't aged in thirty years either. Dressed in black jeans, a long sleeve black tee shirt, and a head full of thick black hair, the 60 year old Di Meola looks fit enough to be playing left-wing for the Boston Bruins.
